You Bet Your Life #60-35 Frankie Avalon and Harry Ruby ('Smile', Jun 8, 1961)

One highlight of this show is Groucho singing a duet with Frankie Avalon of "I Can't Give You Anything But Love", getting in a few more impromptu dance moves before the series wraps up.

But for die-hard Marx Bros fans, the real highlight is in round two: a brief glimpse of Harry Ruby, one of the key writers of the Marx Bros movies in their heyday, and a lifelong friend of Groucho's. He doesn't get to say a whole hellof a lot, but it's nice to see him anyway.

COUPLE #1: Frankie Avalon / Joyce DeHardt, Miss Junior Achievement. Alex Costa, Jr., a sailor from the audience, subs for Frankie in the quiz
COUPLE #2: Caryl Briscoe / Harry Ruby, comedy writer & song composer
